So many fun memories of working with Matty at National Bank Ruawai. So sad to hear Kerry and way to young. Our deepest sympathy Karen Weber nee Powell and Ralph.

Sending condolences Kerry to you and all the family , have fond memories of Matty growing up and visiting parents ,cousins and him in Ruawai ,in our younger days RIP Matty ,Lucy Mckavanagh(Nee Matich)

Members of the Bowling Club at Waihi will miss Matty behind the Bar, the casual chat, his efficiency at keeping up with the Bar stock, let alone the strength to carry and store it in place. He always played in a bowls triples team with Neil and Eric and they were winners many times. Good times.

I grew up with Matty in Ruawai. We were in the same class right through from primers to High School. He was always a lovely guy. In fact I had a crush on him in Intermediate, but then all the girls did! I only saw him a few times since we left Ruawai in the early 70s, but he was just the same. Very charming and polite, with a fierce intellect. So sorry to hear of his passing, fond memories.

Dear Kerry,Tom,Lijana and Chris,
We are so saddened about the passing of our dearest cousin Matty.What fun times together growing up in Ruawai and later great times in the "TANK:He was one of a kind and always had time for a yarn.
Will surely miss him.
Our thoughts with you all at this sad time.
Love Viv, Kerry Cushla and Jo and their Families
